whats the typical amount of time it takes for a timeshare to sell on your website

There is certainly no "typical amount of time" --- on this or any other timeshare web site. Some timeshares frankly can't even be given away for free. Timeshares with some resale market value must be competitively priced in order to attract potentially interested buyers. Overpricing will just encourage buyers to "keep looking" (or maybe, if you're lucky, submit a lower and more realistic offer). Closing costs and transfer fees (and knowing who will be paying them) must also be considered as a factor in pricing and for every sale transaction. All of these factors influence "how long" (regardless of the advertising venue utilized) it might take to find a valid new home for a timeshare.

I have personally purchased AND sold (and occasionally rented as well) timeshare weeks on RedWeek over the years. RedWeek is a very good timeshare site. The requirement for a paid membership to even respond to RedWeek ads helps a LOT to keep away spammers, scammers and "tire kickers". Those types of people won't pay for a membership to play their game --- and paying for a membership also identifies them, leaves a paper trail and therefore makes them traceable --- definitely NOT something that ANY scammer wants.

The bottom line, regardless of the particular web site utilized (including RedWeek), is to be honest and realistic about supply and demand --- and actual resale value. It does not matter one bit what someone may have paid for the timeshare when previously purchased; no one cares about that irrelevant "old news" figure. All that really matters is what the timeshare is actually worth to a new and willing recipient TODAY in the open marketplace.
